Craig Condit commented on YARN-4946:
------------------------------------
Backporting this as-is may not be a good idea. There is no provision for
removing old applications which have not reached a terminal log aggregation
state, and while this should be rare, it does happen and will result in
resource leaks in Zookeeper over time.
At the very least, this feature should be configurable; preferably there should
be a way to forcibly remove stale applications from the RM state store in spite
of log aggregation status. I'm planning on opening a new Jira shortly to
discuss options for this.

> MAPREDUCE-6415 added a tool that combines the aggregated log files for each
> Yarn App into a HAR file. When run, it seeds the list by looking at the
> aggregated logs directory, and then filters out ineligible apps. One of the
> criteria involves checking with the RM that an Application's log aggregation
> status is not still running and has not failed. When the RM "forgets" about
> an older completed Application (e.g. RM failover, enough time has passed,
> etc), the tool won't find the Application in the RM and will just assume that
> its log aggregation succeeded, even if it actually failed or is still running.
> We can solve this problem by doing the following:
> The RM should not consider an app to be fully completed (and thus removed
> from its history) until the aggregation status has reached a terminal state
> (e.g. SUCCEEDED, FAILED, TIME_OUT).
